Emotional Intelligence in Our Lives

Posted: Dec 03, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Emotional Intelligence is in everyone's lives, but only some of us know or practise it regularly. Emotional Intelligence is the ability to manage your emotions positively and productively. In doing this no emotion would hold you back from attaining or achieving any goal or ambition you have in your life.

So why are people unaware of Emotional Intelligence in their life?

Well, a lot of it, especially in males is society's perception of emotions. "Big boys don't cry" or "Suck it in". All through a males life especially at a young age we are taught to push emotions down and struggle through, "Man up" so to speak. Well in fact, the opposite is happening. All the suppressed emotions collect and create a bigger blockage in life. 

Suppressing emotion can lead to illness, stress, unhappiness and even death in some cases.

What is happening is, instead of feeling and expressing an emotion as it happens for example, a fear of something; by not letting yourself express the fear, you collect more and more of it and end up with a bigger problem. In other words, the fear gets worse.

This is a rapid downward spiral, because if we live a fear based life we are not exactly setting our self up for success and happiness. So negative only leads to more negative.

What Emotional Intelligence gives you is the ability to identify, let go of and be free of these negative emotions fast and effectively. It is a tool box full of tools to erase anything and everything you want but not only that, it offers techniques to setting up the lifestyle and reality you would like. Especially through topics like Goal Setting and Time Management. Being able to set goals, and let go of all emotions and feelings around your goal leads to you having your goal. Again, with Time Management; you are able to prioritise and set out a plan that gets the priorities accomplished in your day/ week/ month easily and also gives you enough free time to spend with your partner and family, or enjoying the hobbies you like.

All that stops us from having what we want to have are the emotions and beliefs we hold onto surrounding that topic. Emotional Intelligence gives you the techniques to being free of all of these to live a life of ease, peace and happiness.

It's not rocket science; it is very simple in fact.

Will you give it a go?
